Security Forces Nab Hamas Terror Cell in Hebron

(Times of Israel) Stuart Winer -
Israeli security forces arrested 11 members of a Hamas cell in the Hebron area in January that was planning a series of terror attacks, including suicide bombings, the Israel Security Agency said Monday. Security forces seized two sub-machine guns and explosives. The cell included "operatives that have been arrested in the past and then returned to the terror pool," the Agency said in a statement.
The suspects admitted that at the beginning of December 2014 they tried to carry out a bombing attack on Tel Rumeida in the West Bank city of Hebron. They planted a large bomb and then lured IDF forces to the area by throwing rocks at soldiers. However, a malfunction prevented the explosives from detonating.2015-02-25 00:00:00Full Article
